Random thoughts on my 40th birthday

Holy crap, on Sunday I’m going to be 40.  How did that happen?  Seriously. I can barely believe it’s 2014. It still sounds like a year in the future of flying cars and robots.  Actually, I’m kind of happy that cars don’t fly.  Have you seen the way people drive?  Merging still baffles 90% of the population. But, back to… Read more »

Who ya gonna call? LEGO Ghostbusters!

That’s right…the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 is now in LEGO form. 30 years ago Ghostbusters was released in the theaters.  Like most Gen-Xers, I love that movie.

You get the Ectomobile, proton packs, ghost traps and all four Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman, Ray… Read more »

A year in my life: Fortune favors the bold

We use Pi. And because Pi… Read more »

And I bought it online. Now, it’s not a traditional white dress.  That’s not my style.  I’ve watched those Say Yes to the Dress shows and… Read more »

An evil wedding registry? Honeymoons vs gifts

One thing I’ve realized from reading various wedding websites is that everything outside the norm is controversial.  And if you don’t have your etiquette down to a T, you’re an awful, awful person who probably kicks kittens for fun. Seriously, people need to calm the hell down. We’ve done something that might cause a few of the more traditional folks… Read more »

Non-traditional wedding, bridal stuff

      No Comments on Non-traditional wedding, bridal stuff

If you haven’t heard by now, I am engaged to be married.  Yes, I am a fiancee, a bride to be. The thing is, I hate weddings. I like the idea of being married, but the hub-bub necessary to get to that point freaks me out. Before I even met, Paul, I had decided that if I ever do get… Read more »
